Hello Nick,
You need modules for SCSI device support, SCSI disk support and please enable 
'Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device' as it helps with Multi Card Readers.
As long as the USB is hotpluggable, you should install hotplug and udev 
packages.
A good idea is to put the USB Disk in and to have look in dmesg 
and/or /var/log/messages.
Normally I the disk should recognized by the kernel and produce at least some 
messages. (May be a lsusb show if there is something recognized.)
Best regards Joerg
